Basic wrestling equipment includes a headgear,
wrestling shoes, and a singlet. Wrestling shoes offer more ankle support
than the traditional shoe and are designed lightweight and tight to the
foot to promote freedom of movement. Headgear can prevent outer ear
injuries and bruises during practice and competition. The standard
wrestling uniform, known as a singlet, is designed to fit snug to the body
so that it does not restrict the movement of either wrestler. Kneepads are
sometimes worn by choice
